Bhutan has one of the world's most unique and fascinating newspaper industries, serving 770,000 people in the Land of the Thunder Dragon — a Himalayan Buddhist kingdom that famously measures national success by Gross National Happiness rather than GDP. Bhutan was the last country in the world to introduce television (in 1999) and the internet, and maintains one of Asia's most distinctive approaches to modernisation, balancing carefully curated development with the preservation of its extraordinary culture and environment.
Kuensel is Bhutan's most widely read paper, publishing in both English and Dzongkha — Bhutan's official language. BBS is the national broadcaster. The Royal Securities Exchange (RSEBL) is the official market portal. The BFF covers Bhutan's national football team — one of the world's lowest-ranked sides, yet beloved domestically. Uniquely, archery is Bhutan's national sport, not football.
